The Northern Payutes of Nevada, USA, have an ancient legend that they have passed down from generation to generation. The Payutes say they fought a fierce enemy known as “Si-te-kah” or “Saiduk.” Long ago in past centuries, the Si-Te-kah were a race of red-haired giant cannibals who literally devoured the flesh of their enemies! states that after three years of bloody battles, a coalition of regional tribes has finally united to defeat this savage enemy.

Legend of the giants cannibals

The allied tribes attacked bravely and drove Si-Te-Kakh back into the depths of a very large cave and quickly covered the entrance with heaps of bushes.

A fire was then ignited, which began to choke the giants, and any would-be fugitives were quickly killed by a cloud of arrows. Giant cannibal predators have finally met their death in a blazing cave hell.

The tribe of cannibals, according to legends, arranged a real hunt for the Indians. They dug pit traps on the trails along which ordinary tribes walked and ate the Indians who got there.

In addition, they set up ambushes near rivers, where they caught women who came there. And, they also ate their dead and dug up dead Indians in order to use the bodies of the deceased for food.

They were very brave. As they fought, they grabbed arrows that flew over their heads and fired the same arrows at their enemies again.

The war lasted a long time. There were about two thousand six hundred giants. The war lasted for about three years. As a result, all the cannibals were exterminated. The last survivors were driven into a cave, covered the entrance with dry bushes and set on fire.

Lovelock Cave is located about 93 miles northeast of Reno and lies within the limestone outcrop that forms part of the Humboldt Mountains. At its widest point, the width is approximately 150 'x 35', and the entire vaults of the cave are charred from fire and smoke. Traces of the ancient fire are still visible.

In the fall of 1911, a group of miners led by David Pew and James Hart began excavating 250 tons of bat guano to use as fertilizer when they began to discover countless well-preserved prehistoric artifacts. The University of California was notified and eventually dispatched archaeologists in the spring of 1912 to conduct archaeological excavations there in what is now known as Lovelock Cave.

Further excavations were carried out in 1924 by the Heye Foundation. Archaeologists reported that traces of the ancient inhabitants of the cave were found, the artifacts date back to around 4000 BC. but there are also artifacts from 10, 000 BC. e.

These archaeologists have found the remains of advanced weaving, ice axes, nets, balls, knots, darts, horns, weapons, skin, human body parts, zoomorphic stone statues.

Artifacts from the cave of giants

Lovelock Cave is one of the most important sites in the history of North American archeology.

Among the finds was a stone calendar. A donut-shaped stone with 365 notches carved on the outside and 52 corresponding notches on the inside, which are considered a calendar.

Duck bait. Eleven duck lures are considered to be some of the oldest and most difficult ever discovered in the world. The original baits are now preserved at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC

Leather sandals, the size of which is 38 centimeters. Can you imagine the height of the one who wore these shoes?

Many charred arrowheads were found at the entrance to the cave, confirming an ancient legend. In the depths of the cave, giant arrows were discovered, which in size were more suitable for javelins or throwing spears.

A giant pistil found near the cave. Dr. Gene Hattori, who is the anthropology curator at the Nevada State Museum, says: “We recently received a gift of a pestle that was found below the mouth of Lovelock Cave and is unusually large and very heavy … it is much larger.than we usually find … So it could be one of the pistils used by the red-headed giants, and this could explain its large size due to the large people who used it. “

By the way, this giant pistil can only be seen in a separate back room of the Nevada State Museum, and for some reason it is not on public display …

Humanoid mummy

In the records of the Lud and Harrington archaeological expedition, there is a photograph of what appears to be a childlike humanoid who has been mummified and wrapped in a woven fur robe.

Look at the size of the skull versus the size of the body. Look at the placement of the large eye sockets along with the small face and jaw. Is this another strange genetic abnormality like red hair and gigantic size “si-te-kah” or is it not human at all?

Giant skulls and skeletons

There are many eyewitnesses who claim to have seen the bones and skulls of these prehistoric cannibals, which reached 2 to 3 meters in length.

There is evidence from those who began mining guano from the cave in 1911. Miner James H. Hart testifies to the following:

At the southern end of the cave, we unearthed several skeletons. In the north-central part of the cave, when we removed about one and a half meters of mouse droppings, we found a striking-looking human body more than 2 meters tall. His body was mummified and his hair was bright red … this man was a giant.

A mining engineer and amateur anthropologist from Lovelock, Nevada, examined and measured several giant skeletons that were recovered from Lovelock Cave. Below is a newspaper article from the Nevada State Journal dated April 17, 1932, which mentions Reed and a giant skeleton 2 meters high, as well as giant bones found near the cave.

Many skeletons have been found, both in the ground and at the bottom of the lake. The growth of these skeletons ranged from 2 to 3 meters.

This newspaper article, dated January 24, 1904 from St. Paul's Globe, documents the discovery of the "skeleton of a giant human being" in Winnemucca, Nevada, by workers.”Dr. Samuels” examined him and announced that he was over 3 meters (3.35) in height.

Note the double row of teeth. These photographs were taken by Don Monroe back in the 1970s at the Humboldt Museum. Now the museum management categorically denies that such skulls ever existed.

But before they were seen and photographed in the exposition of the museum, so why did they disappear?

M. K. Davis: I was lucky enough to see these skulls before they were told to keep them out of the public eye. This was in November 2008. After reading about turtles on the internet and I was making a trip to California, I stopped at a museum in Winnemucca to see if there really were giant skulls. I looked around the museum and saw artifacts from Lovelock Cave, but did not see any human remains.

My wife and I then asked the curator there, a lady in her 80s or so, where the giant skulls are. She smiled broadly and asked me to follow her. She ushered us into the closet and opened a cupboard with four large skulls. She said that people from all over the world come here to ask her about these turtles.

I asked why they were not on display, and she replied that it was because they did not want to be taken away. There may be any claims from the Indians. But, according to the stories of the Indians themselves, they do not even belong to their race. I asked her if it was true that there were large red-haired mummies taken from the cave and she said that there were and that she saw them, but they were taken to UC Berkeley …

In their 1929 field report, Lovelock's Cave, the archaeologists at Loud & Harrington make a cryptic statement regarding their findings:

The lot from which each specimen was obtained is listed in the specimen catalog at the Anthropological Museum of the University of California, but unless the artifact seems out of place for science, in which case it is not featured in this description.

It was recently confirmed that four of the ancient skulls found at Lovelock Cave are actually in the possession of the Humboldt Museum in Winnemucca, Nevada. According to Barbara Powell, director of the collection, the museum is prohibited from displaying skulls by the state of Nevada because "the state does not recognize their authenticity."

Instead, they are stored in the closet and only shown to visitors from all over the world upon request. In addition, Powell said the abnormally large bones and other artifacts were donated to the Phoebe A. Hirst Anthropology Museum in Berkeley, California, where they are kept but also never displayed.

It is important to note that the scientific community has diligently cleaned out all references to red-haired mummies and 3-meter-tall skeletons found at the site. As we will see, these repeated attempts to clear historical records of all references to pre-Indian culture in the United States can be seen as working in harmony with the federal government's NAGPRA policy, which works on agendas based on political correctness rather than objective science.
